"See Shere Khan yet?" Cindy asked.
"Nope," Sledgehammer replied. "So far, so good."
"Man, I could really go for a burger right about now, especially from Pop's..." Ashlyn smiled hungrily.
"I'd love to have me some cheese fries." Courtney added.
"Yeah, well, sorry, but you guys are gonna have to survive with fruit for a while from the jungle." Mike told them.
"But be careful," Ellody warned the others. "Some of these fruits could be poisonous."
"Trust me, El, I already know," Mike nodded. "You remember I'm a camping expert in CN City, especially with those times that those Bean Scouts or Squirrel Scouts would come to visit."
"It's like you were a born scout yourself." Cindy said.
"Yeah, even though I was never too crazy about becoming one myself." Mike replied.
Kaa soon slithered around while trying to hold his tail with a groan. "Darn those kids... Breaking free from my spell..."
"You guys hear something?" Mike soon asked.
"I did," Ashlyn said before pointing over by the trees. "Came over from that direction."
"Maybe it's Shere Khan." Ellody said nervously.
Mike came out, bringing a stick with her to bash the tiger in the head with in case it was, but however, it was not. Kaa reached out his tail and soon grabbed a hold of Mowgli as he sat by the trees.
"Kaa! It's you!" Mowgli gasped.
"Yes, Man Cub," Kaa smiled hungrily. "So nice to see you again."
"Oh, go away," Mowgil groaned. "Leave me alone."
"Let me look at you," Kaa told the feral boy as he soon tried to look away from the snake's eyes. "You don't want me to look at you? Then you look at me."
"No, sir," Mowgli said. "I know what you're trying to do, Kaa."
"You do? Uh, I mean, you don't trust me?" Kaa replied.
"No!" Mowgli replied.
"Who'd wanna trust you?!" Mike snapped before beating Kaa in the head with her stick.
"Ow! Hey!" Kaa cried out.
"Go away before I MAKE you go away!" Mike glared at the snake.
"No, no, you don't understand, I want to help." Kaa defended.
"You want to help me?" Mowgli asked the snake.
"Don't do it!" Cindy cried out.
"Certainly... I can see to it that you never have to leave this jungle." Kaa told Mowgli.
"How could you do that?" Mowgli asked.
"Hmm...? Oh, I have my own subtle little ways," Kaa replied to him. "But first, you must trust me."
Mike whacked him with her stick again.
"Will you cut that out?!" Kaa complained.
"I'd sooner trust Hermione Cuzzlewitz before I'd trust you!" Mike glared.
Kaa glared right back, using his hypnosis on the tomboy.
"Don't even think about it." Mike said, putting on her sunglasses and soon whacked him again.
"Ow!" Kaa complained, then tried to use his power on the other girls.
Mike soon grabbed Kaa to make him look at her while her eyes were protected before he could hypnotize them. "You have five seconds to tell me what you want before I turn you into a poodle and throw you even further into the jungle, and it better not be to hypnotize my friends."
"Oh, I don't want no trouble," Kaa replied. "I only want to help out the Man Cub."
"Help him with what?" Mike glared.
"Just trust me, okay?" Kaa replied.
Mike imitated a buzzer and twisted his body around and tossed him aside as she went to help Mowgli back down and come to her friends.
Kaa glared as he was soon on his way out, but someone pulled him away before he could get back to Mike and the others. "Huh? Oh, now what?" he then mumbled. "I'll be right over. Yes, yes, who is it?"
"It's me, Shere Khan," A familiar tiger announced himself as he came out from behind the tree. "I'd like a word with you, if you don't mind."
"Shere Khan. What a surprise." Kaa replied.
"Yes, isn't it?" Shere Khan greeted. "I just dropped by, forgive me if I've interrupted anything."
"Oh, no, nothing at all." Kaa told him.
"I thought you were entertaining someone up there in your coils." Shere Khan said, bearing his claws.
"Coils? Someone?" Kaa replied, but it seemed to be a lie. "Oh, I was just curling up for my siesta."
"But you were talking to someone," Shere Khan said as he grabbed the snake. "Who is it, Kaa?"
"Uh, who? Uh, no," Kaa said nervously. "Well I was just talking to myself."
"Indeed." Shere Khan replied.
"Yes, yes, you see, I have trouble with my ss-sinuses." Kaa told him.
"What a pity." Shere Khan replied.
"Oh, you have no idea. It's ss-simply terrible," Kaa told him. "I can't eat, I can't ss-sleep, so I sing myself to sleep. You know, self-hypnosis. Let me show you how it works," he then tried to sing his song and moved to Shere Khan's eyes, but the tiger dropped his paw over the snake's head, moving it to the ground. "Mm-mmff!"
"I can't be bothered with that," Shere Khan told the snake. "I have no time for that sort of nonsense."
"Some other time, perhaps?" Kaa suggested from underneath the tiger's paw.
"Perhaps. But at the moment I am searching for a Man Cub." Shere Khan said as he then released Kaa.
"Man Cub?" Kaa asked. "What Man Cub?"
"The one who is lost," Shere Kan told him. "Now where do you suppose he could be?"
"Search me." Kaa said with a shrug.
"That's an excellent idea," Shere Khan replied. "I'm sure you wouldn't mind showing me your coils, would you, Kaa?
"Uh, ss-certainly not," Kaa said before lowering his tail before showing the inside of his mouth. "Nothing here, and nothing in here."
Mike and the girls went to take Mowgli away which made Shere Khan and Kaa see them leaving.
"Ah, it looks like we've got more humans." Shere Khan observed.
"I didn't know they were even here!" Kaa lied. "Honest, I didn't!"
"Is that right?" Shere Khan smirked to the snake as if he knew the snake was lying.
"Y-Y-Yes, Shere Khan," Kaa reassured. "I would never lie to you."
"Hmm... Really? Well, if you do just happen to see the Man Cub and his new friends, you will inform me first. Understand?" Shere Kan told Kaa.
"I get the point," Kaa gulped before crossing his body like to cross his body into ak not. "Cross my heart, hope to die."
"Good show," Shere Khan replied before leaving. "And now I must continue my search for the helpless little lad."
"Ooh, who does he think he's fooling?" Kaa mumbled to himself. "'Helpless little lad'. Ooh, he gives me the shivers," he then shivered as he went to try and get back to Mowgli and the girls. "Picking on that poor little helpless boy... Oh, yes, poor little helpless boy."
"You told me a lie, Kaa!" Mowgli glared, pushing Kaa's coils away from him; just like earlier. "You said I could trust you!"
"It's like you said," Kaa glared at Mowgli, coming up to him. "You can't trust anyone!" he then lunge at Mowgli, but a knot on his tail stopped him.
"Girls? Where are you?" Mowgli called out and soon went to go after them to get away from Kaa.
"If I never see that skinny little shrimp again, it will be too soon," Kaa grumbled to himself in defeat. "Ooh... My ss-sacroiliac."
Meanwhile, Justin and Justine still traveled, but they stopped for a while, coming by a dead tree where a group of four vultures were.
"I found some fresh and safe berries," Justine told her brother, showing the berries. "Sky gave me some warnings on what to eat and survive with in the jungle."
"Okay, and luckily for us, I've filled up this canteen with fresh and clean water to drink from." Justin replied.
"You're the best." Justine smiled.
They looked up at the vultures who were sitting together in the tree.
"I hope we aren't bothering them..." Justine said. "They look so creepy."
"It's okay, they only eat dead things." Justin soothed his sister.
"That's a relief." Justine said.
"Now, let's just try to enjoy our food." Justin replied.
"So, if you don't mind, who are you guys?" Justine asked the vultures. "You make me think of The Beatles."
"I'm Ziggy." The slender vulture with brown hair and black feathers said.
"I'm Buzzy." The slightly obese vulture with a bald head and black feathers said.
"I'm Flaps." The slender vulture with blonde hair and black feathers said.
"And I'm Dizzy." The slender vulture with gray hair and black feathers concluded.
"Good to meet you guys," Justine said. "We won't bother you. We're just gonna eat up and find our friends."
"Surely they're in the Man Village where you came from, right?" Ziggy replied.
"Erm... Yeah... That sounds about right," Justin replied to the vultures. "I'm Justin Reid and this is my twin sister: Justine Reid."
"What're you guys gonna do?" Justine asked.
"Hmm... I dunno..." Buzzy shrugged. "Hey, Flaps, what we gonna do?"
"I don't know," Flaps replied. "What you wanna do?"
"I got it! Let's flap over to the east side of the jungle!" Ziggy spoke up. "They've always got a bit of action, a bit of a swinging scene. All right?"
"Ah, come off it!" Buzzy replied. "Things are right dead all over."
"You mean you wish they were!" Ziggy winked.
They all then shared a laugh.
"Very funny..." Dizzy mumbled.
"Okay, so what we gonna do?" Buzzy asked.
"I don't know, what you wanna do?" Flaps replied.
Justin and Justine giggled a bit from the vultures.
"Look, Flaps, first I say, 'What're we gonna do?' and then you say, 'What you wanna do?", they I say, 'What we gonna do?'," Buzzy said to Flaps. "You say 'what you wanna do?', 'what you gonna do', 'what you wanna'; let's do something!"
"Okay. What you wanna do?" Flaps then asked.
"Oh, blimey, there you go again," Buzzy snapped. "The same once again!"
The twins continued to laugh which made the vultures look to them.
"I-I'm sorry!" Justine giggled to them.
Justin covered his mouth as he tried not to laugh, but failed. "You guys are just too funny!" he then added.
"Hmm... Well, thank you." Buzzy replied.
"We didn't think the people could talk to us though." Flaps said.
"It's a long story, we'll tell ya later." Justine smiled as she took a drink of water.
"Hold it, lads," Dizzy said as he noticed something. "Look, look what's coming our way."
Justin and Justine looked around as they looked cautious to be on the safe side.
"Hey, what in the world is that?" Flaps asked.
"What a crazy looking bunch of bones." Ziggy added.
"Yeah, and they're all walking about by themselves!" Dizzy pointed out.
Mowgli was soon shown walking, a bit sadly as the girls followed after him as the vultures chuckled to themselves.
"Who is it?" Justin asked.
"A Man Cub along with some girls and a possum." Ziggy replied.
"Man... Cub...?" Justine asked.
"He is a human child taken in and raised in the jungle." Ziggy explained.
Mowgli soon sat down on a stone and waved a stick into the water as he sulked.
"There's Mike... And Jayna, Cindy, Courtney, Ellody, Ashlyn, and Sledgehammer." Justine whispered to her brother.
"So, what we gonna do?" Buzzy then asked.
"I don't know-And now don't start that again!" Flaps said before glaring at him.
"Come on, lads, come one let's have some fun with this little fella, this little flockey?" Dizzy suggested, shoving the other vultures out of the tree to go and see Mowgli.
"Come on, let's follow them." Justin suggested.
"Right." Justine agreed.
The vultures all then flew down to Mowgli and his little group.
"Did either of you guys have to leave your home?" Mowgli asked Mike and the others.
"Yes... Several times..." Mike said to herself before mumbling. "Depending on the universe timeline."
"I think Mike needs a vacation of her own." Cindy suggested.
"I think so too," Mike replied. "I think I'm going to stay over at Nicktropolis for a while."
The vultures soon circled them all. Cindy's eyes widened, she then checked her pulse, before breathing in relief since that wasn't a sign that she was dying.
"Blimey, he's got legs like a storky." Flaps told the others.
"Like a stork, but he ain't got no feathers." Buzzy chuckled.
Mowgli blinked slowly and soon had tears in his eyes, so he got up to go away from the vultures as he obviously wasn't in the mood right now. "Go ahead. Laugh. I don't care."
The vultures couldn't help but feel upset.
"What's wrong with him?" Dizzy wondered.
"I think we overdid it." Flaps replied.
"We were just having a bit of fun that's all." Dizzy said.
"I should hope so," Mike said firmly before sighing softly and thinking to herself. "Listen, uh, guys? Mowgli's been through a lot right now. I know it's tough to leave your home when you've known it for so long and suddenly, you're up and out."
"Besides your Drawn Together family, huh?" Cindy asked.
"Yeah, Cin," Mike told her. "I mean, there was that time I met The Impossibles... That time with the Cartmans... Also, the couple I thought were my parents all this time when I lived in Manhattan before becoming an exchange student on the Albonquetine Islands. I guess at least I still have Jen and Jamie."
"At least you've had some families..." Cindy said to her. "My grandmother was pretty much on her own before she married my grandfather and they raised my aunt and mother."
"I've never known what it was like to have a family; parents who would love you and be with you all the time." Jayna said softly before bowing her head as Mike and Cindy comforted the female Wonder Twin.
"I'm sure it's tough, but you shouldn't let it hold you back," Cindy told Jayna. "My grandmother didn't let it get to her. I'm not saying I don't feel bad for you, but you shouldn't let the toughest situations hold you back in your life, like when Justin and Justine lost their father and then each other, but they worked through it, and look at where they are now."
"Cindy's right," Mike added. "I know your family wouldn't want to see you or Zan upset."
"I know, and I try not to think about it, but when I see people with their families, I get upset," Jayna said. "Like that Family Day we had in the city and everyone's families were there, even Mike's Drawn Together family came for that day. It really hurt me and Zan that day."
"I'm sure it did, but it's going to be okay." Mike soothed.
"You still have family though," Ashlyn reminded. "Zan and Gleek."
"You're right on that," Jayna replied. "I'm sorry."
"Hey, no need to apologize," Courtney soothed. "It's okay that you miss your parents."
"Funny, and you would normally just laugh about us being orphans." Jayna mumbled.
"It's in the past now, I'm not gonna do it again." Courtney promised.
"And for your sake, you better not." Mike replied.
"Thanks, you guys." Jayna said.
"Hey, what are friends for?" Cindy replied.
"If only we could help Mowgli." Ellody said.
"Hm... I guess we'll have to wait and see... Today's been rough on him..." Courtney said. "You saw how close he and Baloo were before Baloo told him about the Man Village."
"You know, Courtney, when you're not a pain in the asinus, you're actually pretty helpful and smart." Cindy said.
"Well, that's how I got to become a CIT." Courtney replied.
"Say, are you the girls that those kids were talking about?" Ziggy asked.
"Uh... What kids?" Cindy shrugged.
"Well, they were like, I think they're called twins," Flaps replied. "One was a boy and the other one was a girl, but they both had black hair and baby blue eyes."
"You saw them?!" Ashlyn asked.
"Yeah, we were talkin' to them for a while," Ziggy said. "Said they were looking for their friends. Would that be you?"
"Tell me this; did they look like models and have tan skin, because if they are who I'm thinking that they are?!" Ashlyn asked frantically.
"Yeah, they did." Dizzy nodded.
"Justin and Justine are here!" Courtney and Ellody gasped to each other.
"Huh, I figured the others would send the Powerpuff Girls or something to find us." Cindy said to herself.
"Where are they right now?" Ashlyn asked the vultures.
"Buzzy, go get those two." Flaps said.
"Sure thing, Flaps." Buzzy said before flying off to go and get the Reid twins.
"I can't believe it, Justin and Justine are here..." Mike said. "Surely the others must be here too then."
"Yeah, but where?" Ellody replied.
"You don't suppose they could be in the Man Village, do you?" Cindy suggested.
"That is a possibility." Ellody replied.
"I hope they are." Courtney said.
Eventually, Justin and Justine came out.
"JUSTIN!" Jayna beamed, running up to him and hugging him. "Oh, my God, I've missed you so much."
"Like you wouldn't believe." Sledgehammer added with a smirk.
"I missed you too." Justin smiled to Jayna.
"He wanted to find you the most, so instead of sending the Powerpuff Girls, they sent us." Justine explained.
"They?" Mike asked.
"Sensei Jack and Ms. Honeydew." Justin informed.
"Oh, thank goodness, some of the others made it," Cindy sighed in relief. "They're in the Man Village, I'm guessing?"
"Apparently it's called the Seeonee Tribe, but yeah," Justin said. "A lot of the others made it over there too. We've all been wondering about you guys, especially after Jayna and Courtney had that fist fight off the boat."
"Speaking of which... Why is SHE with you?!" Justine asked, pointing sharply to Courtney. "She's the cause of all of this!"
"It's okay, you two, she's reforming," Mike told the Reid twins. "She's even left Kevin's gang."
Justin and Justine looked doubtful at first until Mike and the others told the Reid twins everything that they had been going through lately with Courtney and she told them about how she felt about being with Kevin and his friends, finding them heartless and cruel with their bullying, even worse than how MOST bullies could be sometimes.
"I guess we were wrong about you, Courtney." Justine then said.
"It's okay," Courtney pouted. "I feel guilty for bullying you guys."
"You were really dark," Justine told her. "Especially with the way you got around Justin."
"I know... I'm sorry... But can you blame me?" Courtney replied. "Your brother's an amazing guy."
"And I'm sure that you'll find your own special someone someday." Jayna soothed.
"I guess so..." Courtney sighed. "I don't know if I'd want Duncan back, even with that thing with Gwen since we were pretty serious for a while."
"Eh, I can see why you'd feel that way, but I never imagined you and Duncan being together forever in the end," Justine said. "You seemed good for like a one year thing rather than a serious relationship like with him and Dusk from The Hex Girls."
"That is true... We had nothing in common, so it's best that Duncan and Dusk are together," Courtney said. "They look so happy."
"Exactly!" Jayna smiled before looking to Courtney. "Ah, don't worry. You'll meet someone soon, You can't rush it."
"Yeah, I guess." Courtney shrugged.
"But we're so glad that you guys are all right." Justine beamed.
"Ah, of course we're alright, I'm here, right?" Mike replied.
"Snarky Mike is snarky." Justin said.
"Aren't I always?" Mike rolled her eyes a bit. "I'm always there to save the day and come up with all the plans unless I get a chance to go out of town with Jamie, June, and Dee Dee for something."
"We're sorry, Mike," Justine said. "We'll understand if you don't want to leave-"
"Actually, after a while, I've been thinking about it, and I'm going to stay in Nicktropolis for a while." Mike cut her off.
"How long's a while?" Justin asked.
"Whenever I decide to come back." Mike replied.
"We totally understand," Justine said. "It's your choice."
"Thanks, guys." Mike smiled gratefully.
"But right now, it seems like Mowgli's broken... He can't really trust anyone in this jungle anymore..." Cindy said. "I guess at least he trusts us even if he just met us."
"He has to go to the village, but we shouldn't let that hang over his head," Ashlyn said. "If only there was a way to show him that he could like living in the village with people of his own kind as much as he likes the jungle."
"I'm not sure myself, but that does sound like a good idea." Courtney agreed.
"Say, where did those vultures go?" Mike then asked.
"They went to comfort Mowgli." Cindy said.
"Hm... Well, at least they're doing something useful and not laughing at him anymore," Mike said. "I never was a big fan of vultures."
They then went to go after the vultures, only to find that they had gone up to sit in a tree, looking scared.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Cindy asked them.
"Sh-Shere Khan." Dizzy replied.
They soon looked over to see the tiger as he applauded his front paws together.
"Bravo, bravo! An extraordinary performance," Shere Khan smirked to the vultures. "And thank you for detaining my victim.
"D-Don't mention it, Your Highness." Flaps gulped to the tiger.
"Run, friends! Run!" Buzzy cried out.
"Run?" Mowgli asked. "Why should we run?"
"Why should you run?" Shere Khan smirked. "Could it be possible that you don't know who I am?"
"Yeah, a tyrant jungle cat!" Mike glared.
The vultures panicked from that which got Shere Khan to glare back at Mike.
"We know you alright," Mowgli glared at the tiger. "You're Shere Khan."
"Precisely," Shere Khan smirked as he held out his claws to Cindy to scare her off, which would normally happen, but not this time. "Then you should also know that everyone runs from Shere Khan."
"You don't scare us," Cindy glared at the tiger. "We won't run from anyone."
"Ah, you have spirit for one so small. And such spirit is deserving of a sporting chance," Shere Khan smirked. "Now, I am going to close my eyes and count to ten. It makes the chase more interesting. For me."
"I'm proud of ya, Cin, but I hope you have a way out of this," Sledgehammer said, crawling up to Cindy's head. "I'm not sure if my usual material will work on this cat."
"Me, personally, not right now, but I'm sure we'll get some help against this pussycat." Cindy replied, keeping her glare as she was done with being pushed around by other people, especially with Kevin and Sarah bugging her all the time back home.
Shere Khan began to count as Mowgli soon went further around and soon picked up a branch. "You're trying my patience," he said as he soon saw that and quickly counted and pounced out for the feral boy. "Ten!"
Mowgli panicked at first, only for Shere Khan to fall flat on the ground as a certain bear came back, holding the tiger by his tail.
"Run, guys, run!" Baloo cried out as he held Shere Khan by his tail.
"Who's that?" Justine asked.
"Baloo: one of our new animal friends." Mike replied.
"Let go, you big oaf!" Shere Khan glared at Baloo.
"Take it easy, hold it, hold it. Whoa, easy, easy." Baloo said, trying to keep Shere Khan still, but failed.
"He's got a tiger by the tail." Buzzy said.
"And he'd better hang on, too." Dizzy added.
"Well, it's good to see a nice and helpful bear like Yogi." Justine smiled.
"Yogi's sometimes helpful when he doesn't try to take picnic baskets." Courtney rolled her eyes a bit.
"Just be glad he isn't a dangerous bear." Ellody nudged her step-sister a little.
Shere Khan then bit Baloo on his butt which made the bear yell out in pain.
Mowgli hit Shere Khan with the branch. "Take that, you big bully!"
"Let him have it! Hit him!" Flaps chanted, hitting his friends on the head by accident.
"We have to help... If only there were some fire around or we had a gun since Shere Khan hates those things." Cindy said to the others.
The others then suddenly had an idea before smirking as they looked over at Justin and Justine.
"What?" Justin asked.
"Can't you guys make fire?" Ashlyn asked them.
"Yeah?" Justine shrugged.
"Great, then all you have to do is make a fire on one of these branches while I tie the branch to Shere Khan's tail." Courtney replied.
"That's a good idea, Courtney." Cindy replied.
"That's a rare sentence." Ashlyn commented.
"Ashlyn..." Mike glanced at the punk girl.'
"Sorry. Reflex." Ashlyn replied.
"All right, you guys, let's go!" Courtney told the others.
Mowgli continued to run as Shere Khan chased him while Baloo held onto his tail. Justin and Justine soon took Mowgli's branch and they both grabbed a hold of it before both of their eyes turned lava red and eventually, a spark came onto the branch and they let go together with one hand to show a flame.
"Phew... That gave me a little headache..." Justine said.
"Probably because you're used to making lava that we don't use fire a lot since that's Eddy's job." Justin replied.
Courtney soon grabbed the flaming branch and tied it around Shere Khan's tail after he knocked Baloo out. Baloo soon fell over.
"Baloo, you okay?" Jayna asked the bear.
Baloo let out a small groan before looking up to her.
"Oh, good, he's okay." Jayna then smiled to the bear.
"Look behind you, chum." Dizzy smirked to the tiger.
Shere Khan took a look and soon panicked once he saw the fire and began to run off like a cowardly tiger, getting hurt every step of the way as he was trapped with the flaming branch on his tail.
"Well, that's the last of him." Buzzy smiled.
"Old Stripes took off like a flaming comet!" Ziggy laughed.
"Well, come on, let's go congratulate our friend." Buzzy suggested.
"Not just him." Flaps said.
"Oh, that's right." Buzzy replied.
"Hold it, fellas," Dizzy told them somberly as he took a look as Baloo was lying down beside Jayna, but he didn't seem to be showing any signs of life. "Now's not the time for it. Look."
"Oh, no," Justine pouted. "Poor Baloo."
"You don't think he's... Dead... Do you?" Ashlyn asked.
"I don't think so," Mike replied. "At least... I hope not."
"Baloo? Baloo, get up," Mowgli called to his best bear friend. "Oh please, get up."
"Oh..." Bagheera frowned as he soon arrived to see the feral boy as it lightly rained while everyone else looked to Mowgli and Baloo. "Mowgli, try to understand."
Cindy turned around, crying a little.
Mowgli wiped his eyes, feeling extremely sad. "Guys, what's the matter with him?"
"You've got to be brave, like Baloo was." Bagheera replied.
"You don't mean-" Mowgli began until he realized what the panther meant and broke down, hugging the bear's neck. "Oh, no, Baloo."
"Now, now. I know how you feel, but you must remember, Mowgli, 'Greater love hath no one than he who lays down his life for his friend'," Bagheera comforted, but unknown to him, Baloo slowly opened his eyes. "'When great deeds are remembered in this jungle one name will stand above all others': Our friend, Baloo the Bear."
Baloo sniffled with tears in his eyes. "He's crackin' me up."
"He's alive." Mike said softly in relief.
"Thank goodness." Cindy said, wiping her eyes.
"The memory of Baloo's sacrifice and bravery will forever be engraved on our saddened hearts." Bagheera continued, unaware that Baloo was just fine.
"Beautiful." Baloo whispered to himself.
Eventually, the rainfall soon stopped and sun began to shine through again.
"This spot where Baloo fell will always be a hallowed place in the jungle, for there lies one of nature's noblest creatures." Bagheera continued.
"I wish my mother could've heard this." Baloo whispered with a sniffle.
"It's best we leave now," Bagheera then suggested, going off. "Come along, Man Cub."
"Don't stop now, Baggy, you're doing great!" Baloo raised his voice with a smile. "There's more, lots more!"
Bagheera looked to Baloo in surprise and soon lost his temper on the bear. "Why you, big fraud! You, you four-flusher! Do you realize-?!
"Baloo, you're all right!" Mowgli beamed, hugging the bear right away.
Baloo chuckled to that. "Who me? Sure I am. Never felt..." he then held his head before feeling dizzy all of the sudden. "Better."
The vultures soon laughed happily once they saw that Baloo was alright.
"It's going to be a bit dull without the little bloke and those city folks, isn't it?" Dizzy remarked.
"Yeah, so what we gonna do?" Buzzy replied.
"I don't know-" Flaps said before glaring. "And now don't start that again!"
The others walked away from the vultures waving goodbye to them.
